Album Description
Available in:
L.A.M.F. is the only studio album by the American band The Heartbreakers, which included Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Walter Lure and Billy Rath. The music is a mixture of punk, R&B and rock and roll. The band played a seminal role in the formation of early punk. Thunders and Nolan were previously in the New York Dolls, an important protopunk band. Biographer Nina Antonia states in the L.A.M.F. liner notes that "Johnny and his wise-guys were not a punk band, in the 1976 application of the term, they were N.Y. street punks playing rock n' roll but the kids still pogoed."
The acronym "L.A.M.F." stands for "Like A Mother Fucker", in a 1977 interview in the UK monthly magazine Zigzag Thunders said this originated from New York gang graffiti. Thunders claimed the gangs would add the LAMF tag after writing their gang name. However if they were on another gang's territory they would write "D.T.K.L.A.M.F" (Down To Kill Like A Mother Fucker). The original, vinyl release of the album is notorious for its lackluster sound, despite several attempts to remix it.
